Sujet: Buffalos Future from Isles Fan Perspective
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>Alter the course of the franchise because of a few games? That's oversimplifying but. You're also suggesting the franchise ultimately rebuilds...

For a decade

A literal decade 2013 2023

This may be your 2nd favourite NY team but the Sabres are the heart &amp; soul of many Buffalonians (?) and that's honestly insulting to such passionate fans

I was lucky to witness that passion first hand in 2009

They already have the pieces that any team would want out of a rebuild they just have 15M$ committed to 5 total Skinnposo goals which is why they suck atm

All they need is to be free of that and build properly</div></div>

First of all this is just a fun exercise with a team that will have the most blank cap space in the modern era when cap is one of the hardest things to come by, so their is no disrespect, we all love our hockey teams.

2nd being an Islander fan I would know what it means to lose a top line center that’s considered one of the best in the league. (Tavares)

When he was here we were constantly re-tooling and tire spinning just to make him happy. It was awful here, before 2016 against the panthers I literally wasn’t alive for their previous playoff win in 93’.

When we lost him I thought we were cooked. But “trading” our best player (tavares) for a new culture (Lou and Trotz) was the greatest thing that ever happened to the isles in my lifetime.

We were in a very similar situation to you guys and although Tavares (like Eichel) was a phenomenal player we were better off in a new direction where no one was treated special. (Barzal is reprimanded constantly and is learning every game from Trotz)

We picked up culture guys and took “bad” contracts like Martin, Filpula, Komarov, etc. and made the playoffs with it. A 5 year is one id see working for you is a cup run. You can turn around from the Eichel era the next year and make the playoffs the next year because hockey is weird and unpredictable.

Love from the Island
